A big thank you for the outgoing ex-com members who had done a great job over the year!

To see who is entitled to vote :

Clause 2, p. 5 defines “Voting Member” as an ordinary member or a life member for the time being of the Association who has paid up his Membership Subscription. so, only ordinary or “ordinary” life members can be voting members.

Clause 9, p. 6 defines the different categories of membership. (e) and (f) are Ordinary and Life Membership respectively.

Clause 31 – every voting member shall have one vote.

Clause 32 p. 9 provides that a Voting Member shall not have any voting right at any meeting if he has not paid his entrance fee or annual subscription fees to the Association for the year in whcih the meeting is held seven clear days prior to such meeting. so, as most memberships expired in August, we might have a small electorate BUT

by clause 8, save as otherwise determined by the Exco no member shall be entitled to enjoy the rights attached to his membership until he shall have paid his Entrance Fee, Membership Subscriptions etc.
by clause 2 p. 5 “Membership Subscription” means such sum(s) of money payable annually in each calendar year by an ordinary member etc… as the Exco may from time to time prescribe.

since we decided to extend all current memberships until the conclusion of AGM, there is no question of any overdue subscriptions.

Exco — Clause 35 p. 9 provides that the management of the affairs of the Association shall be vested in the Exco which consists of President, 2 VPs, Hon Sec, Hon Treasurer, Imm. Past Presdient, and not more than 10 members.

Votes – Clause 31, every voting member shall have one vote, whether on a show of hands or on a poll.

Clause 33 – on a poll, votes may be given either personally or by proxy.

Here are the further comment from our Honorary Secretary:

I am absolutely shocked at the accusation made by Charlie, in particular the following which appears at 20:43:

“我曾經得到師友嘅支持，贊助咗一個唔細嘅數目比呢個足球會希望足球會發展得更加好嘅。 但係我喺 Exco 裡 邊就有好多嘅反對嘅聲音，而呢個聲音即係在座2位唔係足球會嘅都有表達佢地反對嘅聲音。。。。”

The fact of the matter is that there was no opposition from Exco as to generous donation. We were very grateful for a substantial donation. However, it was Charlie himself who said that the donor did not specify whether his donation was to be used for any specific activity. The matter was then left to Charlie to come up with budgets for all sporting events, after which it would be possible to discuss how and to which activities the donation would be earmarked. (2nd Exco Meeting on 3 October 2011)

At the next Exco meeing (7 November 2011) Charlie had still not prepared a budget for all the activities under his responsibility.

It was only at the 4th Exco Meeting (5 December 2011) that Charlie had the budget, and allocation, and reported that the donor supported the donation to be used for sporting events including football and basketball. This still being unclear, Charlie was asked whether the donor wanted to have his donation earmarked for sports and the newsletter.

It was on the 5th Exco Meeting (9 January 2012) that Charlie finally had the allocation and confirmation from the donor, and then there was further discussion in subsequent meetings about how that should be treated in the books.

These meetings were all minuted. I attach relevant extracts from such minutes which shows clearly that there was no opposition, just that we wanted to make sure that the money so generously provided would be used according to the wishes of the donor.

I am also extremely disappointed that Charlie would resort to making personal attacks against Arthur, accusing Arthur of wanting to be President just to get a name (recognition). This accusation is unjust, being based on only Arthur’s temporary absence from SSCAA Exco. This is not the SSC spirit “to live good lives and to be true, in everything we do or say”.

Grateful if you could help to clarify if there are any queries.

Best Regards
Robert

各位同學，

本人周烈金，Charlie Chau，是1968年聖士提反的畢業生，多年來都是寄宿生。 在校期間，我積極參與學校活動。我是校內的拯溺隊隊長，贏取過全港校際第一屆拯溺比賽總冠軍，為學校爭取殊榮。  我亦當過學長 (Prefect)，與前後多屆同學諗熟，有定期茶敍，船河，高球比賽，所以非常清楚不同屆別及已移居外國的同學的近況和需求。

自2004年至今，我在舊生會當了六屆Exco成員，曾任兩屆副會長。 任內積極參與會務，當過兩年聖誕節晚會主席，又發起及支持足球比賽，足球會成立至今，已甚具規模，會員達百多人。我亦被委派帶領籌款組，多年來籌募了不少經費，作為拓展會務和贊助各類體育活動之用。

本人若然當選今屆的舊生會會長，將會善用各會員的才幹，學校的資源以及外界和其他舊生的力量，使舊生會成為一個更強大和有效率的團體，建立更好的聲譽和號召力。並且會舉辦更多不同的聯誼和體育活動，團結不同年份的的舊生，集思廣益。這樣既可防止舊會員流失，亦可吸引其他舊生加入我們的團隊，令舊生會壯茁成長。

明年學校110週年和小學75週年紀念的各種活動，本人憑着以往在獅子會和童軍會多年做會長的經驗，帶領舊生會，配合和參與學校安排的各種活動，吸引更多本港及外國的舊生參與，協助學校舉辦一個成功而有意義的週年紀念。

本人己經為競選今年的舊生會會長一職做了充份的準備，希望能夠作為一度為學校和舊生溝通的橋樑，為各位同學作出更大的貢獻。

希望各位同學能夠支持我，投我信任的一票。本人一定會竭盡所能，服務各年份的舊生。多謝各位。

The team members for SSCAA 2012 election

Dear Alumni

I am Arthur Chow (Class of 87), current Vice President of St. Stephen’s College Alumni Association (SSCAA). On behalf of our team, I would like to share our intention to run for 2012-13 executive committee election.

I have served the SSCAA for 7 years in total of which about 3 years were at a Vice President capacity.  Most recently, I was responsible for Communications in charge of revamping our Facebook page, website and newsletter which received a lot of positive feedback.  Together with the support from my running teammates, past presidents and teachers, I am confident that I am the right President candidate to unite the St. Stephen’s community and lead SSCAA for the new term.

We aim to bring our passion and professionalism in uniting SSC alumni.  We are an experienced team with 6 out of 10 members being a member of the executive committee or sub-committee member of SSCAA.
